In which condition does a female carrier transmit a disease to half of her sons?

  • A Autosomal recessive
  • B X-linked dominant
  • C X-linked recessive
  • D Y-linked

Correct answer: C. X-linked recessive

Explanation: X-linked recessive: carrier mother (XAXa) transmits the affected X to half her sons (XaY). Sons have only one X, so they show the disease.
